ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has justified the ANC working with the EFF to boot out DA mayors in hung Gauteng metros, saying the party was simply interested in the stability of local government. | QaanitahHunter
The ANC and the EFF formed an unofficial partnership in the hung councils in the province, starting in the City of Joburg, where they worked with other parties to unseat the DA-led coalitions.
In Mogale City, the ANC and EFF on Thursday worked to remove DA mayor Tyrone Gray through a motion of no confidence. The same was done in the West Rand District Municipality and Ekurhuleni. The ANC national executive committee on Friday will evaluate the party’s role in coalitions and come up with a strategy. The meeting is set to get a report from former Gauteng premier David Makhura, who has been appointed to deal with coalitions full-time for the ANC’s headquarters.
He said the ANC wanted to ensure stability in local government. This is despite the ANC’s actions, through motions of no confidence, having brought instability to Gauteng metros. Mbalula noted that the ANC was in election mode, saying “the next election is not business as usual", but a true battle of ideas.
